India Mission Trip - Panchgani
Monday morning, August 26th, we drove south to Panchgani, a beautiful resort area up in the mountains and much cooler. We went to the Cambridge High School, which is a private boy’s boarding school. Mr. and Mrs. Potham, the administrators, are Christians, but it is not a Christian school as such. We arrived there a little before noon. After checking into the local hotel we had lunch in the school dining room. Then they brought all the students from about 5th grade and up with the faculty, about 100 to the dining room for me to teach the rest of the afternoon. The Pothams said all but three were Hindu. We studied the Ten Commandments and why we need a Savior. We had dinner with the Pothams and rested the evening. I taught that same group all day Tuesday, with breaks and lunch. Several times I had opportunity to apply Scripture with directed prayer times for decisions. I think many of these students accepted Christ but I do not have any numbers. Two boys said they also wanted to preach Jesus. They turned in more than thirty written questions, which we discussed. Amazingly, spiritual needs are the same everywhere.
